Long time, no hear...

[Agee]

Some might...

toss this song into the category. But if you were a young male when thhis song was a hit, and you wanted some play. This song was Da-Bomb.



If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can’t I paint you?
The words will never show the you I’ve come to know.
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am I to go?
There’s no one home but you,
You’re all that’s left me too.
And when my love for life is running dry,
You come and pour yourself on me.

If a man could be two places at one time,
I’d be with you.
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die,
I’d spend the end with you.
And when the world was through,
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
Then you and I would simply fly away

"Your Bulldog Drinks Champagne"


The wildwood flower grew wild on the farm,
And we never knowed what it was called.
Some said it was a flower and some said it was weed,
I never gave it much thought ......
One day I was out there talking to my brother,
Reached down for a weed to chew on,
Things got fuzzy and things got blurry,
And then everything was gone!
Didn't know what happened,
But I knew it beat the hell out of sniffin' burlap.

I come to and my brother was there,
And he said, What's wrong with your eyes?
I said, I don't know, I was chewing on a weed.
He said, Let me give it a try.
We spent the rest of that day and most of that night,
Trying to find my brother, Bill.
Caught up with him, 'bout six o'clock the next morning,
Naked, swinging on the wind mill!
He said he flew up there.
I had to fly up there and bring him down,
He was about half crazy .....

The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds,
And put 'em in the sun to dry.
Then we mashed 'em up and chopped 'em up,
And put 'em in the corncob pipe.
Smokin' that wildwood flower got to be a habit,
We didn't see no harm.
We thought it was kind of handy,
Take a trip and never leave the farm!

All good things gotta come to an end,
And it's the same with the wildwood weed.
One day this feller from Washington came by,
And he spied it and turned white as a sheet.
Then they dug and they burned,
And they burned and they dug,
And they killed all our cute little weeds.
Then they drove away,
We just smiled and waved ..........
Sittin' there on that sack of seeds!

Y'all come back now, hear?

One of my fav songs from a soundtrack...

(Mary Magdalene)
I don't know how to love him
What to do, how to move him
I've been changed, yes really changed
In these past few days
When I've seen myself
I seem like someone else

I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me
He's a man
He's just a man
And I've had so many
Men before
In very many ways
He's just one more

Should I bring him down
Should I scream and shout
Should I speak of love
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about?

Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position?
I'm the one
Who's always been
So calm so cool
No lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so

I never thought I'd come to this
What's it all about?

Yet
If he said he loved me
I'd be lost
I'd be frightened
I couldn't cope
Just couldn't cope
I'd turn my head
I'd back away
I wouldn't want to know
He scares me so
I want him so
I love him so

Here's another!

"Spiders and Snakes"


You can't run away forever
But there's nothing wrong with
Getting a good head start
You wanna shut out the night
You wanna shut down the sun
You want to shut away
The pieces of a broken heart

Think of how we'll lay down together
We'd be listening to the radio
So loud and so strong
Every golden nugget coming
Like a gift of the gods
Someone must have blessed us
When he gave us those songs

I treasure your love
I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell
And I know you've got the ashes to prove it
I treasure your love
I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
And I know you've got the scars to prove it

Remember everything that I told you
And I'm telling you again that it's true
When you're alone and afraid
And you're completely amazed
To find there's nothing anybody can do
Keep on believing
And you'll discover baby

There's always something magic
There's always something new
And when you really, really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams
Come through
The beat is always new
And when you really really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams
Come through for you

I treasure your love
I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell
And I know you've got the ashes to prove it
I treasure your love
I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
And I know you've got the scars to prove it

Remember everything that I told you
And I'm telling you again that it's true
You're never alone cause you can put on the phones
And let the drummer tell your heart what to do
Keep on believing
And you'll discover baby

There's always something magic
There's always something new
And when you really, really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams
Come through
The beat is always new
And when you really really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams
Come through

Giving Repeat Props to RoseRed

But I needed to Take a Little Trip

War - "Low Rider"

All my friends know the low rider
The low rider is a little higher

The low rider drives a little slower
Low rider, is a real goer

Hey

Low rider knows every street, yeah
Low rider, is the one to meet, yeah

Low rider don't use no gas now
The low rider don't drive too fast

Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip and see
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip with me

How 'bout some Robert Cray...

:guitar:

Dead of the night baby
We're finally alone
I'll pull up the shades
If you'll unplug the phone

Put on some music
Marvin Gaye's real nice
Once we get settled
I'll turn off the lights

Chorus:
Don't be afraid of the dark
Don't be afraid of the dark
I'll be there to hold you
Don't be afraid of the dark

It might be scary
Til your eyes adjust
Don't fear the shadows
Me you can trust

I'm at my best
In a pitch black room
Hold on tight baby
You'll feel the power soon

Chorus

You might tremble
You might shake
Scream out loud
Maybe even pray

I know which moves
Suit you right
You'll beg for more
You'll forget about the night

Chorus

 

[kwillia]

It's been so long
I really need to see you, baby
So long

When I called you up
And talked to you yesterday, baby
You really rocked me
Oh, you rocked me

I made my promise to you, darling
And I'm gonna do what needs be done

You've made me understand, baby
That hearts ain't made from stone
The things you do to me, yeah

Three o'clock in the morning
I wake up
Can't go back to sleep

I get a real, real, real good feeling
Way down inside
Knowing you're in love with me

It's so hard
To be away from you, baby
Only makes me want you more

You're so good to me, baby
It makes it hard to walk out that door

But, oh, the things you do to me
Yeah

I made my promise now, darling
And I'm gonna do what needs be done
Yes I am

You've made me understand, baby
That hearts ain't made from stone

And, oh, the things you do to me
Yeah
Oh, the things you do to me
It's so hard to get away from you, baby
Oh, those things you do to me
The things you do to me

 

[Agee]

Talk about getting kicked to the curb!

 

[kwillia]

A little Aaron Neville...

Down here the river meets the sea
In the sticky heat I feel you open up to me
Love comes out of no where, baby, oh, just like a hurricane
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain

Lying underneath the stars right next to you
And I'm wondering who you are, and how do you do, how do you do baby
Oh, the clouds roll in across the moon, and the wind howls out your name
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain

We never gonna make that bridge tonight, baby
Set across the Poncetrain
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain

Batten down the hatches, baby
Leave your heart out on your sleeve
Looks like we're in for stormy, stormy, stormy weather
That ain't no cause to leave
Just like
Let it wash away the pain
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain
Baby can you feel it, can you feel it
It feels like rain
Baby can you feel it, can you feel it
Feels like rain
Let your love, let your love come down
Oh, down on me

 

[kwillia]

If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy

If you are serious
Don't play with my heart
It makes me furious
But if you want me to love you
Then a baby I will, girl you know that I will

Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I know deep down inside me
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride

Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby go on and live

Tell it like it is
I'm nothing to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
But I... Tell it like it is
My time is too expensive and I'm not your little boy

 

[virgovictoria]

She didn't give me credit for the bazillion she copied from me either...

I do a search within thread on almost every song... I find out that I have copied some when I search on another and THEN an older one will show up... I can't help it if this search engine SUCKS... besides... it just goes to show you two that our great minds think alike...

Now, how bout "Smokin Gun"

I get a constant busy signal when I call you on the phone
I get a strong uneasy feeling you're not sitting there alone
I'm having nasty nasty visions and baby you're in every one, yeah
and I'm so afraid I'm gonna find you with a still hot and smokin gun

Maybe you want to end it, you've had your fill of my kind of fun
but you don't know how to tell me and you know that I'm not that dumb
I put 2 and 1 together and you know that's not an easy sum
and I know just where to find you with a still hot and smokin gun

instrumental bridge

I'm standing here bewildered, I can't remember just what I've done
I can hear the sirens whining, my eyes blinded by the sun
I know that I should be running, my heart's beating just like a drum
now they've knocked me down and takin it, a still hot and smokin gun

yeah still hot and smokin gun
yes they've taken it
still hot and smokin gun
oh they've taken it
still hot and smokin gun
knocked me down, taken it

Too bad baby, can this be, is there something wrong with you and me.
Guess we'll see I confess I don't know how we got into this mess might have guessed.
Day by day you're slowly running out of things to say.
So I may ask you why is it always me who has to try.
To make things feel right.

[Pre-Chorus:]
You never told what you feel inside, I thought you loved me, now I realise.
No matter how I try
You never seem to be satisfied.
And now you're tellin' me it's...

[Chorus: x2]
Too bad baby that you're so good to me, I like you, you love me.
Too bad baby you're so into me, I can't breathe.
You fall in love too easily.

Me and you, are slowly running out of things to do, nothing new.
I don't know, just why we don't agree, when I say YES, and you say NO.
Don't be shy, please tell why it is that we don't see
Eye to eye
So confused, I'm feeling helpless and I'm feeling used.
Like yesterdays news, girl

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Break]

It started from the day I met her
Walked over me I let her.
Friends who told me go and get her
They're telling me forget her.
Too bad baby, Think I'm going crazy.
Someone take me
Nothings gonna save me.

We used to be the best of friends
I wrote a song for you
You'd call me for no reason
Talk about TV and food
We used to be the best of friends
You read my horoscope, you said
I wasn't anal enough to be a Virgo
I said that's what I hoped
I admitted I was scared to you
I said I couldn't sleep
I told my jokes and they were bad
You laughed to humour me
We used to be the best of friends
We flirted but no more
Sometimes we'd drop each other hints
That we would both ignore
But now we're not the best of friends
We said we'd always be
There was a night I should've kissed you
That blame belongs to me
'Cos you got a boyfriend, got a life
I guess he took my place
I started speaking to you less and less
Till you were just another face
But sometimes our eyes meet
Sometimes we look around
Then one of us will look away
I usually look down
The other night I was hanging out
Red eyes, wet hair
I looked across the circle
And you were sitting there
The moment lasted forever
The reefer round this time
I took the hit and passed it on
Inside I nearly cried
When I think about the friends I've had
Forgotten faces in a crowd
The many times I've bared my soul
I've grown this old, I've cried out loud
I looked at you, you sat in shock
I looked at you, you sat in shock
My drifting nature has got to stop
My drifting nature's got to stop
